Rome's comune covers 1,287.36 km² and held 2,746,984 people in 2025, with 4,223,885 across the metropolitan city, but the Rome a first-time visitor walks is a fraction of that. The historic centre in the central-western Italian peninsula has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980, and Vatican City — the smallest country in the world — lies inside Rome's own boundaries, so a single morning crosses an international border without anyone stopping to notice. Plan around that dense core rather than around the map of the comune, and the city stops being the exhausting thing it is reputed to be.
